Someday, when I am on a visit in the U.S. and if I come across a good used one I will by a modern intake manifold and maybe a alu water-pump also just because they are lighter and might therefore have better performance and therefore lower gas mileage if driven 'normally' as before.
But which type of edelbrock? the problem I am seeing is that none of the modern manifolds for the FE have the oil inlet pipe(hole) which means that valve cover(s) have to be adapted or replaced with none original ones.
Anyone know of older type of alu manifolds which are good and light that will fit the FE and have the oil inlet?
In the mean time the old original manifold can be modified a bit. I came across some information and video to grind the sharp edges away inside the manifold for a better airflow etc. on a FE website. That increases the performance and a better gas mileage also.
Anyone know more about it?
